Oh that tiny little abandoned egg.Poor mother bird - I fear something must have happened to her, for her not to return to her nest. Nature can be cruel - where was Father bird????Such a beautiful nest and egg... I feel sad.

We had a momma bird this summer sit in her little nest on top of the electric meter on my husbands pole barn. She was on there for weeks and weeks... hot days she would pant because she was so hot. poor gal. And after all of her hard work - the eggs didn't hatch. poor momma. I took the next down and the robins egg blue is so perfectly beautiful isn't it. Hope you are having a great summer! Have a PRETTY day! Kristin

Dear Laura,As a child, I used to wish and pray that I could find a whole birds egg and, to be in a nest would have been an even greater treasure but, such a bitter sweet prize, as the egg would have been abandoned and not hatched so, I really didn't want to find one !!!! Birds eggs are so beautiful, their colouring and patterns. I love the way that you have put this post together with all of the beautiful turquoise/bird's egg blue things you have.I have been away and have just seen your post about the silver cutlery. They are most definitely pastry forks. I have some myself and, my sister was looking for things to use for an afternoon tea this Sunday and found a box of old Victorian pastry forks that were her mother-in-law's.Enjoy Mary's cream puff's !!

Dear Laura, thank you for those wonderful pics! You now what's amazing? I love this colour and would like to have more beautiful things to decorate! I love birds! And I learned about two books which remind me of the one you showed above: "The Country Diary of an Edwardian Lady" and "The Nature Notes of an Edwardian Lady"...and I was looking for other books like those... now I found your pics!!! Thanks a lot!

Laura!What a sweet little egg...I LURVE that color!Can you mail me that egg?? hahahahah...I don't know what the hell I would do with it, but I just want to be able to walk past that color everyday! Lucky Ducky ;)Keep on Junkin'!Meliss

About Me

My Symphony

To live content with small means.... To seek elegance rather than luxury, and refinement rather than fashion.... To be worthy, not respectable, and wealthy, not rich.... To study hard, think quietly, talk gently, act frankly.... To listen to stars and birds, to babes and sages, with open heart.... To bear all cheerfully, do all bravely, await occasions, hurry never.... In a word, to let the spiritual, unbidden and unconscious, grow up through the common...............this is to be my symphony.
